Everyone following the “clarification” about scythed chariot factors on the official ADLG forum?

From forum:
http://www.artdelaguerre.fr/adlg/v3/for ... php?t=5510

Here is a summary of combat factors for a unit attacked by a Scythed chariot in the 1st round:
· Basic factor is set to zero except for LI (+1 if javelin), LH (+1 if javelin), LMI with bow/crossbow (+1 against mounted), LMI with Javelin (+2), WWg (+1) and El (+3 including Impact)
· Impact ability of foot and mounted do not count (except for Elephant)
· Armor applies if mounted (armor of foot troops is cancelled by the furious charge)
· Panic for Elephant and Camels do not apply as Scythed chariots represent suicide troops or already panicked herd
· 2HW ability is not relevant as Scythed chariot have only one cohesion point
· Stakes gives -2 to the Scythed chariot
· Missile support count against Scythed chariot
· If a Scythed chariot do an uncontrolled charge it has -1 in melee
· Disorder and terrain modifiers (including uphill) always applies

Wayne Steward "Roundie" has stepped up to even our number. He has only participated in one game of ADLG before but he's keen to learn.

My plane is scheduled to arrive at 8.45am on Sat. If anyone’s passing the airport around that time I’d be grateful for a lift into the venue please. Thanks!

not on my way but if nobody else volunteers, I can pick you up

I can. Just round the corner.

Us here in Christchurch would like some battle reports please.
Good Luck to the Woolston Lads.

And photos of the 30+ unit armies

I don't think anyone has stepped up for the 30+ unit challenge due to lack of interest.
This was my planned one, abandoned as it got dull practicing with it.

Tamil Indian
Commands I & II
Competent Included General
2 Elephants
4 Med Sw Impetuous
2 Bowmen Mediocre
2 LI Javelin

Command III
Competent Included General
1 Elephant
2 Med Sw Impact
2 LI Bow
3 Levy
2 Bowmen Mediocre

all those wins too dull for you???

Didn't win that often Brian, it gets pulled apart quickly by armies that can maneuver.

Garagecon returned to it's roots of being a fun tournament with no ranking points kept and people able to swap opponents if all 4 agreed.

Shaun with his Medieval Scots was triumphant with 5 wins out of 5.

Second with 4 wins and 1 lose was a 3 way the. Tim with Classical Indian, Aaron with Ghaznavids and Stephen with 100 years war French. Bodes well for Stephen at Britcon.

Last was also a tie between Roundie ( last minute entrant who had no real experience) using Seleucids and me with the Palmyrans. Roundup played well and no doubt learned heaps, I look forward to playing him in the future. I cannot blame the dice for my defeats, I had some good throws and some not so good. I was unable to get victories except against Tilman whose Flank march with his main strike force of camels failed to turn up.

I only had 3 wins, and two losses (Tim and Josh).

Lots of fun. Three losses on the first day. Followed by two wins on the second.

damn... I was second with one loss and rest wins. A great game against Ian (which I lost) that showed me how to use the MC better. Lessons learnt, those bloody foot knights are tough
